MUD - The Cat Crept In (1974) TopPop

[@duncanlangton5348]

You don't hear class like this on X-Factor , this was fun but serious music. Give me a time machine . Who's with me ?👍🏼😃

[@philiphalpenny9761]

Dr. Who herself...

[@williamwallace5857]

Umm, it wasn't serious music at all. Serious music is Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Queen, Free etc etc. This is NOT serious musicianship - but I do like it nevertheless.

[@user-s1o3nr532]

@@williamwallace5857 I can see what Duncan means - it's actually really well played. It's not easy to play rock with a funkiness and bounce as mud did - many have tried and failed. They were very experienced musicians by the time they hit the charts and were seriously good at it.

[@williamwallace5857]

@@user-s1o3nr532 Umm, they weren't actually, good musicians I mean. Very average.

[@stephen3224]

You're so right this is music you can hear the words crazy dance moves and so much fun in the severe ties shame there's no such nmussic these day bring back the super seventies much better then x factor or the like

[@johnlangston7314]

Mud ...Slade ...T-Rex... The Sweet.. The Rubetts.. ShowaddyWaddy Suzi Quatro we were truly blessed for all the fantastic original bands

[@wolfenstein6676]

Even as an ol' punk rocker from back then I have to admit that we all loved these superb bands too :) .

[@ivyhope660]

Great time for music! Always ramp up the volume (with headphones so not to annoy neighbours) if I need a lift! LOVE IT!

[@jeffreybrett6538]

What a fabulous era to be a teenager. We were so lucky and Mud were just one of the best groups around. Saw them live and the theatre rocked..

[@alanwhitney3263]

They were great fun live, saw them twice and Mud2 much later but none of original line up

[@lesleybryant7557]

Envy me.. I am hearing all these MUD songs for the first time...amazeballs !!!!

[@BigBopper-zm1kf]

Me too. I've become a fan at 63 😂😂😂 Love Tiger Feet

[@GeoffreyBrowne-k5u]

Mud were the first band I ever saw in concert in 1974 in the Ulster Hall in Belfast. In those days nobody else came. As Les Gray said delighted to be here. Great show.

[@wataboutya9310]

Was the religious divide crossed that night?

[@jonnyjohnsen7972]

I was 18 in -74, and was partying every weekend, and sometimes in the middle of the week, and Mud was played for all it was worth. It was a happy time, no worries.

[@tomoconnell01]

And me.......

[@TLChivz]

The early 70's when pop music was sheer fun. charts dominated by bands like Mud, Sweet, 10cc, T-Rex, Bowie, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Suzi Quatro, Alvin Stardust, Gary Glitter [BEFORE we knew] The Glitter Band, Showaddywaddy and the mighty SLADE! ALL of them looking like they were genuinely having fun and enjoying themselves unlike now and they could ALL play! Such a shame we can't go back. You Tube is a god send in these matters!

[@TLChivz]

@kevin locklin Yeah, I listed 'actual' gigging for years before getting a contract bands and artists that could PLAY not manufactured boy bands that had session musicians record their tracks as they could barely play their instruments.

[@Billyg215]

Gary Glitter before we knew and also Alvin Stardust being a wife beater.

[@jamesbrook16]

Agreed

[@Twosharppencils]

Mud had hit after hit in the 70's. The soundtrack to my teens. Brilliant group.

[@simonbrooksstoryteller]

Mine too!

[@dermotkearney251]

The greatest band ever!

[@kevinmurphy8857]

What a great song by the ledgendary mud. They will be remembered for year's ahead to come.

[@blakescrewe]

The best ever period for music if you lived through those years

[@Populous3Tutorials]

the best period for music is whenever you lived as a teen, whether it was 1830, 1960 or 2004 it's called nostalgia

[@colinwestwood921]

What a fantastic era to grow up in. Brilliant bands all around. Mud were just one of them. .🙌

[@ИванБурлак-й1х]

Извините,tiget fits,услвшал в 1974 по радио,СР200 волны,нашел в 2014году.Ирония судьбы.Все хорошо,.Мечта должна становиться реальностью.Я искал эту песню уthe Sweet,ошибся чуть-чуть.Sweet от нее отказались.Или что -то,так...

[@bapete5159]

Back in the 70s again.....cracking times...I really miss them days it never going to be the same again.....👍🇬🇧🤓

[@SurreyAlan]

This was the time when even big name bands toured and played what would now be considered tiny venues, I remember going to a dance where MUD were the band, they were fantastic, no one was sitting down.

[@Chewie0001]

This was my first song i bought from Mud. I remember when my older sister heard this song when i was playing it on my record player. She thought I was crazy listening to this music. bud, i don't care i just loved this song. :)

[@sidneyphillips3887]

Why are people so negative. The song and the music was played for fun. Even if you didn’t like it at least you can hear the words.

[@donthompson10166]

Maybe they just don't like cats

[@karenfulton4450]

You're not half right! You're are spot on! These guys enjoyed what they did! ENTERTAINERS AND MUSICIANS in one! It's human nature to put someone down when they are at the top of their game!

[@Retroscoop]

So having an opinion that is not the same as yours automatically is "being negative".... Great. That's a bit like those folks that immediately assume people are racist, because they don't like rap. Same odd reasoning...

[@miked4377]

mud is a great band that dont get the credit they richly deserve!!

[@marcschramm6958]

Three memorable songs and the rest is total crap.

[@karenfulton4450]

Another FAB 4 FROM THE UK that should have got more worldwide recognition than they received! GREAT MUSIC!

[@TAILSESTVITA1955]

mud rocks,, i was a teenager in the 70s and bought a lot of mud records , still got most of them to be honest . the world needs more fun bands like mud.. rock on ,

[@dsaword2622]

Mud great sounds I'm 67 now worked in a record department in those days selling all these great sounds sure miss those days a LOT 😊

[@bapete5159]

Me Too....👍🇬🇧🤓

[@ellenr.3409]

Fun stuff! Suddenly I´am 15 again. Makes me smile to watch them, brings back good memories.

[@helenb6399]

Made me remember how good it was PURE FUN!

[@jeanbeavers9290]

I was 12, great times

[@kieronphillips5485]

Ellen R. Too right .....I also was born in 1959, what great music if only we could go back

[@bertmaanders6679]

+Ellen R. ...and then the Kitty crept in.... ;-D

[@colinwilkes8957]

That is the point ,isn’t it , early 70s music was fun somewhere in the late80s it started losing that element.

[@bernardmeyre]

Good band. Rockin'. I've liked Mud since summer 73 when i witnessed them on TOTP singing "Hypnosis". And hypnotized i was. Really. That was my first trip to England by the way ( Bishop Stortford and Frinton on sea)). There was also Slade ("skweeze mee") and Suzi Quatro...Wow...Loud, exciting, well sung, well written, good sounding anglo-american pop rock&roll...With a touch, maybe, of British music-hall outré kitsch (?!!!!!!) ... And Bubblegum of course... Let us not forget Messieurs Chinn and Chapman, the glorious songsters. A formula they had? well probably... so ? Just the proof they had a ( instantly recognizable) style to start with and that's what matters, innit ? Catchy, absurd, funny lyrics, clever efficient hooks, driving beats, good grooves, fine players...A bit like Leiber & Stoller (faves of mine actually)...

[@karenfulton4450]

These guys had talent and a groovy kind of class! Glam at it's best! Best era of any!!!! 😻

[@lynda1804]

Lovely Mud - loved all their songs, lovely to hear this again xx

[@rattersinc]

Great to remember these lads,did they knock out some good stuff ,or what. And they enjoyed themselves. Thanks MUD.

[@bouncersue]

REST IN PEACE LES, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES XXXX

[@MartinBethell-u6k]

We had the best of times.xxxx

[@macjam9090]

loved them great to hear this again I still have most of their singles must find them and play them again. Glam period was my favourite period in music

[@Kl35j]

War das nicht Glamrock wie Mud Sweet Glitter und Slade und T Rex Ich war ein Fan davon höre es heute noch gerne

[@garyowens4269]

They were a great live band too. Proper talented musicians.

[@SpeedTriple59]

Can't beat a bit of MUD...!!!

[@trevorthompson7604]

Total feel good music what a great decade the seventies was the glam the fun the music so many great bands to choose from unlike today's rubbish total boring crap

[@SpeedTriple59]

RIP Les & Dave...Happy memories of the 70s Footie Raleigh Choppers,Mud long summer's happy simple times...

[@abcbcde9985]

70s footie! but hated choppers! what happened to Opal Fruits?

[@jamesdougan2364]

One of the best bands ever

[@shycharlieace]

mud had some great songs and they all seemed to be having fun doing them, I know we did back in the 70s

[@spiritualparadise4887]

Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn were writing songs like this in their sleep back in 1974 ... but Mud were a great fun band. RIP Les ... your sadly missed.

[@nigelcutteridge7972]

From @NigelCutteridge (aka 'Angel Nigel' 😇) Back in the Nineties, whilst a BBC RADIO ONE PRODUCER, I interviewed LES GRAY shortly before he passed away. He always preferred this song to 'TIGER FEET' ... but he wittily observed that, in AUTOMOBILE terms, it was similar to comparing a ROLLS-ROYCE with a BENTLEY ~ or a PORSCHE with a FERRARI! R.I.P. my dear friend ... 💘💘💝💝🙏🙏

[@ronnoten]

First time I have seen this and it wont be the last, this is the best viseo of the song and the intro is pure class. No one had fun like Mud.

[@Richard-tp1jp]

this song came out that year i was born im 48 yrs old and its a great song richard

[@clivebonneywell6967]

For me a better time to live in and we all know the reason why, didn't have much but people were happier

[@iguanaplays1657]

I still remember many happy days playing around the tip when this was at number one - found an old cast iron money box in the image of a black gentleman - my dad still has it and one day I have it back!!

[@stefanwohlke7502]

Die Musik in den 70ern war grandios!!!

[@Duyf]

Mud performed in Holland (Oldemarkt) when I was 17 yo. Marvelous! Beer in my cloths, but fun fun fun all night!
